From the start (Latin) (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ab initio

(Other definitions for ab initio that I've seen before include "From the start - in Latin" , "Undercoat for metal/wood" , "From the beginning in Latin" , "from the outset" , "from scratch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
